Guardian of the Light
You
can hope, and dream
Of what might have been,
Or
reach for a lofty goal,
But
you can't miss something
That
you've never seen,
That has never held you, touched your soul;
Every
life begins in light,
A
unique and brilliant flame,
Yet,
we long for reassurance
From
the Source from whence we came,
We
know that there is something more
Than
what our senses tell,
And
we search the world around us
For
the pearl within the shell;
We
spend our lives in longing
For
that pure and perfect light,
For
Its peace that once enfolded us,
A
voice just out of sight,
That
spoke our names in love, held our souls.
As
time passes by, and our light outgrows us,
Our
journey takes us backwards,
And
at the same time forwards,
Towards
where love and light will come full circle,
Pulling
us into itself, enfolding us once more.
Let
your soul remember and revisit that light;
Your
very own unique source of loving kindness;
You
are its guardian,
You
alone have the power to share your light with others,
Your
efforts and your choice alone
Will
determine how far down the path your light will shine.
My
soul is restless until it rests in You. - St.
Augustine
